Today’s
college
students
are
a
collaborative
bunch
by
nature,
but
on
many
campuses
there’s
a
gap
between
students’
desire
to
collaborate
and
the
resources
available
to
let
them
do
so.
Many
colleges
are
currently
lacking
robust
solutions
that
would

It’s
such

this

on

At

not

I

Every

knows
it:
inventors
are
cool.
It’s
one
of
the
things
we
want

we
grow

right

But
